Plumbers are crawling under houses, fighting freezing temperatures and frozen pipes that ruptured from the pressure.

“What we’re going to have to do is try to heat up these pipes underneath here before we can actually determine where the leak is,” said Joe Lyons, a plumber.

“If your water’s not running in some parts of the house then yes, you’ve got frozen pipes, and what you need to do is thaw them out slowly because if you kind of flash-thaw them, they will rupture,” Nichols said.

It might take warmer weather to know if your pipes are damaged.

“As it warms up and we get above freezing the pipes, then the pipes that are frozen and broke will begin to leak,” Nichols said.

Plumbers said it’s not just older homes that are being affected by the freezing temperatures. Anywhere the wind can blow directly on a water line it can freeze quickly.
